Welcome to 2018 !

Europe got smaller price increase, Germany was around 3%, Belgium around 5%. Canada and US was 9% and 8% increase, with new additions standard.

Gave my Sakhir m3 in for service at dealer and they had an Imola F80 sitting there.

Red is red. No substitute, unfortunately.

It's funny, back when I got my Z4M I actually didn't really like Imola Red that much. I thought it was a bit too dark and they could do better. Turns out, they have spent a decade since producing worse reds and a lot of strange in-between colors.

That is how I feel about Melbourne Red, but at this point I'd take it. Imola Red would be amazing.

BMW Individual upsell strategy:

M3/M4 - if you want a normal color, must pay 5k
M2 - if you want a normal color, must buy an M3/M4 instead and pay 5k

Yeah, Ferrari Red is nice. Porsche Guards Red is one of my favorites too.

Great car let down by interior. Why can't BMW offer some colour options and seats wouldn't find their way into a Porsche GT car

I'm leaning 788 with the machined face (my color choice will be BSM if they don't bring back MGM by the time I buy next year), but 437 is an option too. I haven't seen them live on BSM, but they looked great on MGM.
I LOVE the 763's, but they need to be grey and are only offered in black or gold. Nothing an orbit grey paint job won't cure though...


My 135 with Anthracite Apex EC-7's for reference:
I absolutely hate when people post something like this, like it's a fact that black wheels look bad on black cars. At least for the sake of respecting other people on the forum, add into your post "in my opinion....."

In my opinion, silver wheels on black cars looks shit and black on black looks awesome. No I don't have a black on black car, just stating my opinion.
